Completely unsourced (for over 8 years). Trivial and non-notable. Fails WP:GNG. Also see WP:SPORTCRIT. Created as part of a large swath of pages by a single user promoting the sport or roller hockey. Zackmann08 (^{Talk to me}/_{What I been doing}) 17:18, 23 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Keep Professional team in the highest level league of roller hockey at a time when roller hockey was hugely popular and had games in primetime on ESPN. Notability is not temporary. Secondly this article like most of the others were not all created by one editor. The nom hasn't even done the slightest check on the article's notability, to the point where he claims one person created it when it was a completely different user. Op seems to be on a one man war to wipe out all of roller hockey from the wiki. -DJSasso (talk) 18:47, 23 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Keep no evidence that nom made any effort to search for sources. Nominating with the same rationale for every AfD without (apparently) even checking to see if each article fits the rationale is a non-starter. Lepricavark (talk) 20:59, 23 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Keep, per Lepricavark. And these other AFDs all seem similar:
